wow this week was shagged and tired man. had ex endurance frm thursday night till friday late morning. trekked the north west part of singapore. total of 36km. 3 man a team carrying 2 radio sets and a field packs full of rations and extra clothing. and that was jus only the beginning.
we set off at 1030pm. before that we had our 1st station. we had to lay lines and know the basic fundamentals of line laying. haha we scrambled and managed to fix the phone and laid the lines. but it couldnt work cos we dint put the batt into the phone haha. we overlooked such seemingly minute details which cost us points. 1st checkpt was at the heavy vehicle carpark at chua chu kang. it was about 4km frm camp. did the rebro test over there and it was ok. the nxt checkpt was at kranji dam. which is all the way north about 7km? haha rough estimate. we walked and walked and walked. when we reached there we could see johor. by that time. my shoulders were numb frm the carrying of the radio sets. we did our field antennae test there. after that we made our way to ama keng to do our pyc500 test. it was a long long long walk man. about 10km i wld say. walked past industrial estates and countless lamp posts. and by the time we made our way to the nxt check pt at kiat hong camp. we were half dead and were dragging our feet man. it was a neverending walk. lamp posts after lamp posts. 3 souls walking on the road with cemetries beside us. we caught up with other groups and made our way back as 1 big group haha.
so much for the ex endurance. this is a crap entry. passin out nxt fri.... counting down the days....
